Strange things are afoot on the north coast of Prince Edward Island, Canada. I made this image with a bright red Diana camera clone called a "Candid Camera".

"Abduction Theory". Somewhere near Madrid, New Mexico and made with a #Holga.

Black and white square photo of a road sign showing the silhouette of a cow (for livestock in the road). Above that is another sign with a curved arrow pointing upwards (for an upcoming curve in the road). Someone drew a flying saucer above the cow and below the upward pointing arrow, perhaps hinting at an alien abduction taking place.

Kodachrome Basin, Utah. A great place to wander around and avoid some of the crowds you run into at the Utah national parks. This photo was made with a modified Agfa Isoly camera.

Black and white square photo of a couple of scorched, bare trees and tree limbs. The overall blur to the image is caused by transplanting a simple plastic lens from another camera to the Isoly and then inverting it.

Lady Liberty emerges from her hole. Takes a look around and sees her own shadow. Goes back in hole for another six weeks. Probably all for the best.

Black and white photo of a statue of liberty cut out in a store window. On the front of the cut out is a shadow like outline of her crown and face.

A couple of Ferroblend test prints. Same chemistry and same exposure times. The only difference is the paper used for each one. An amazing difference but I really like that. #alternativeprocess #cyanotype

Two ferroblend test prints of a coastal rock outcrop between two cliffs. The photo on the left is almost entirely brown in color, while the photo on the right displays more of a split toned look with the blue of the cyanotype peeking through.

Two consecutive #Holga frames from the site of the Little Bighorn battlefield, or "Custer's Last Stand". 150 years ago today. Custer did his best to end the Custer family tree by getting himself, three brothers, a son in law, and an 18 year old nephew killed.

Black and white photo of markers where soldiers were killed on a hillside in the Little Bighorn battlefield in Montana. The photo is actually two consecutive photos pieced together to form a rather crude panorama.

Chloride, Arizona. At one time a booming silver mining town. Now, it's just one of those quirky "living ghost town" places. I made this image with a #Holga, my favorite travel camera.

Square black and white photo. A small rail track curves around a couple of gas pumps in Chloride, Arizona.

"Temporary Structures #2". I used a flipped-lens Kodak Brownie Flash camera with some Kodak Verichrome Pan film that expired in the 1960's. #expiredfilm

A square black and white photo of sticks and branches crudely assembled into something resembling a shape. The sun pokes through an ominous gray background haze, most likely caused by the age of the expired film.

"Hamilton House" ink emulsion lift on lightly tea-toned Fabriano Artistico paper. The lifted emulsion was from a sheet of well aged and decayed overhead transparency material of unknown origin.

A square photographic image of an old and abandoned farmhouse in rural Prince Edward Island, Canada. The simple structure has a center entrance and a large triangular gable on the roof. The image shows all the defects that one gets using ancient material as an ink transfer medium.

Morning at Appleton Farms. Made with a Kodak Duaflex II camera with an inverted lens and some extremely expired Kodak Verichrome Pan 620 film. #expiredfilm #filmphotography

A black and white square photo. A bare, black branch is prominently featured in the center of the frame. In the background, there is a row of trees along a hill while the morning sun burns through the foggy scene. The photo has an overall blur to it, the result of using a lens that has been inverted (or "flipped").
